Islamists disguised as Orthodox Jews, killed 4 Jews and injured others at a busy Tel Aviv market. 13 people suffered gunshot wounds following the Islamic terror attacks.
The two attackers were captured alive. One terrorist was gunned down but taken alive.
Israeli authorities have banned 83,000 entry permits for Palestinian Muslims including all for Ramadan and those for family visits from the West Bank to Israel.
Hamas praised the attack in a statement but it did not claim responsibility.
Following the attacks, other Muslims around the worlds celebrated the deadly terror attack.
In Turkey’s largest city Istanbul they handed out sweets in the streets and Muslims in the West Bank celebrated the Islamist attacks.
Disgraceful: Palestinians in Istanbul hand out sweets to express their joy following Tel Aviv mass shooting attack. Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza are also celebrating.
Turkey is currently aspiring to become a EU member state but more and more people are questioning Turkey’s entry in the European Union, considering their radicalization under Sultan Erdogan.

Scores of football fans are heading to France to watch some football/soccer. But what will they have to endure to even get to the stadiums? RT has summed up the traps and pitfalls that could ruin the game for you, so that when you come, you come prepared.
Travel hiccups
First and foremost – you might not get to the tournament at all. Air France pilots are planning to go on a massive strike on Saturday, June 11, the second day the tournament kicks off, and keep hitting the bricks for four days at least, unhappy with an impending pay cut.
An Air France spokesman confirmed the strike earlier on Thursday, but promised, however, that some 70 percent of flights would operate. So maybe you will be lucky? Or perhaps opting to travel by train could be a better idea?
Probably not, seeing as French rail workers are already on a nationwide strike, which has seen trains being canceled across the country since May, 31, including on the RER D line leading to the Paris’ main stadium, Stade de France, and the Gare du Nord station, used for Eurostar trains going between Britain and northern Europe.
Eau-de-garbage
If by way of fortune you’ve managed to get to France and transport issues don’t bother you, the stinking smell of rubbish bins might, because… yes, there is another massive strike going on – the garbage collection strike, which is to continue until at least June 14!
So as you can imagine, the smells of French perfume and baguettes are hardly the ones you’ll inhale upon arrival. With workers blockading waste processing centers in Paris, ten of the capital’s 20 districts have begun filling up with uncollected rubbish. And it’s not only in Paris that bin bags are stacking up on the streets. St. Etienne and Marseille have also had to put up with rubbish piling up on the streets.
Labor reform aftermath
In general, beware of the strikes and protests.
Apart from pilots and rail workers, thousands of employees from a variety of spheres have been protesting all over France for more than two months now, opposing a new labor reform that might make it easier for companies to hire and fire employees.
The protests have resulted in clashes with police and all sorts of violence, so take care when strolling through central Paris, and better avoid Place de la Republique, if you don’t want to get your butt kicked by raging justice-seekers or, worse, get tear-gassed, shoved into a riot police van and have to watch the games on a small screen from the cramped cell. Just don’t.
Queues and cordons
As for the law enforcement force, there will be much of it! Approximately 90,000 police and private guards have been mobilized to watch after Euro 2016 events – and spectators.
This means that you’ll be protected (or rather hoarded?), but also that you’ll be searched and scanned and monitored whenever near or at one of the 110 venue sites, including stadiums, fan zones and team hotels.
You’ll also have to wait for some three hours before entering any stadium, and wait in a long, a very long queue as besides yourself about 2.5 million spectators are expected to attend the 51 Euro-matches. Plus, there will be dual rings of steel for you to pass through at the stadiums, so just breathe slowly and try to keep your cool.
Terror threat
Despite all the security gimmicks, many governments still don’t believe the measures will make the tournament risk-free and have been warning their nationals of ‘potential terrorist threats.’
The US State Department was the first to toll the bell. “Euro Cup stadiums, fan zones, and unaffiliated entertainment venues broadcasting the tournaments in France and across Europe represent potential targets for terrorists,” the alert said. The UK joined in the alarm, urging its citizens to be “vigilant at all times.”
The head of the Euro 2016 organizing committee, Jacques Lambert, in his turn swore that organizers had not received intelligence of any specific threats to the 10 host stadiums and fan zones, yet reminded that France remains under a state of emergency following last year’s attacks. So watch out. Seriously. And use the ‘terror alert’ app.
No football watching on the streets
In case you planned on merging the football-watching joys with gastronomic pleasures, we have to burst your bubble. As one of its latest security measures, France has banned cafes and bars from broadcasting games on outdoor terraces. This means that you could still watch the game on a small TV-screen at the bar, but no usual giant outdoor screens are allowed to be installed, apart from those in the official fan zones. That’s being done in order to avoid people from massing in crowds outside bars and restaurants.
“A game shown on a terrace comes with a crowd around the screen,” France’s secretary of state for Sports Thierry Braillard told BFMTV channel. “It’s better to have a secure site that will allow thousands of people to gather in an organized manner.” Still, don’t be too thrilled by the fan zones – they also have caused many politicians to voice their concerns over being easy targets for massacres.
When in Rome…
And finally, but rather crucially, don’t forget you’re a foreigner in France.
Tourists are always recognizable, and football fans are ever more so, with all the chanting and flag-waving and brightly colored faces. Loud tourists are a common complaint of the French, and although it’s hard to be a quiet football fan, try. And try to say ‘bonjour’ and ‘merci,’ at the very least. Your hosts will appreciate the effort. If you think you can endure all of this, Euro-2016 is waiting for you!

The State Department declared it would take 75 years to release all the emails from top aides to Hillary Clinton during her tenure as Secretary of State.
The announcement came just a day before the presidential primary on Tuesday, where Hillary Clinton won enough delegates to ensure her the Democratic nomination.
“Given the Department’s current [Freedom of Information Act] workload and the complexity of these documents, it can process about 500 pages a month, meaning it would take approximately 16-and-2/3 years to complete the review of the Mills documents, 33-and-1/3 years to finish the review of the Sullivan documents, and 25 years to wrap up the review of the Kennedy documents — or 75 years in total,” the State Department said in the filing.
Spokesman Mark Toner claimed it wasn’t “an outlandish estimation.”
The news shouldn’t come as a shock to Republicans.
After filing a pair of lawsuits related to Clinton’s emails just last March, Chairman Reince Priebus said “the Obama administration has failed to comply with records requests in a timely manner as required by law.”
State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau defended the bloated bureaucracy, saying “the volume of FOIA requests received by the Department has tripled since 2008. In fiscal year 2015 alone we received approximately 22,000 FOIA requests.”
“The requests are also frequently more complex and seek larger volumes of documents, requiring significantly more time, resources, and interagency coordination,” she continued. “While we have increased staffing for our FOIA office, our available resources are still nonetheless constrained.”
The top aides whose emails are in question are Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, policy advisor Jacob Sullivan, and Foreign Service Officer Patrick Kennedy, who between the three of them have 1.5 million pages of records that the RNC is trying to release through FOIA requests.
This is yet another example of government red tape masquerading as sensible policy, which would be the mantra of a Hillary Clinton presidency. Obama is clearly using the bureaucracy to temporarily shield Hillary from more political fallout, which will inevitably be uncovered, likely sooner than later.

Republican Speaker Paul Ryan attacked GOP nominee Donald Trump Tuesday at a public Washington DC rally.
Ryan called Trump’s attacks on La Raza Judge Gonzalo Curiel as “textbook racism.”
The White House started using Ryan’s words in their own attacks on Donald Trump later that afternoon.
On Sunday Ryan will go on CBS to continue his attacks on Donald Trump.
He might as well cut an ad for Hillary Clinton. We strongly urge everyone to join Sarah Palin’s efforts to stop Paul Ryan from being reelected in Wisconsin this autumn! It is highly unlikely because Wisconsin is an establishment state, with heavy neoconery. Ted Cruz won dinosaur-establishment state of Wisconsin by colluding with fellow establishment filth such as Wisconsin gov. Scott Walker and Paul Ryan. So because of that, it is extremely unlikely for Paul Ryan’s competitor Paul Nehlen to win. According to polls Paul Ryan unfortunately has a heavy lead over Nehlen but maybe Wisconsinites will wake up and turn things around.
PAUL RYAN IS NOT A TRUE REPUBLICAN! He is a globalist/internationalist liberal scumbag who has delayed the endorsement of the Republican nominee whom was elected with record number of votes by more than 13 million in a race with 17 people or 18 including early-drop out Scott Walker. He does NOT care about the people, he only cares about his own liberal agenda. Ryan should go join the Demon-Rat Party!
Paul Ryan will also double-down on his attacks on GOP nominee Donald Trump on Sunday morning on Face the Nation.
The interview was already recorded.
CBS News reported:
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, has strongly disavowed comments made by the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump less than a week after endorsing him. In a Face the Nation interview set to air this upcoming Sunday, host John Dickerson asked the Speaker how his endorsement is “sitting,” after Donald Trump’s allegation that a judge presiding over a lawsuit involving Trump University is biased due to the his Mexican heritage. Ryan responded with a laugh saying, “It could be better.”
“I do think that those comments are racist comments” Ryan said. “That’s why I’ve disavowed them completely. What bothers me about the comments is it doesn’t reflect who we are or what we think or how we think as Republicans.”
Speaker Ryan added that “the notion that someone’s ethnicity or race effects the way they do their job is completely the opposite of what we believe.” Ryan said.
“I don’t think that those are appropriate comments by any stretch of the mind” the Speaker stated and added, “Hopefully a lesson will be learned here and we can move forward with a better campaign.”
** Only 22% of Republicans believe Donald Trump’s comments on La Raza Judge Curiel were racist.
But before he goes on the Sunday talk shows Paul Ryan will be meeting with Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, Tom Cotton and GOP Chair Reince Priebus.
